Mueller     Marches     On In Schlieren

   

 

   

Home hero Nicolas Mueller delighted the crowds at the     Seegarten Vitis Open when he upset third seed Chris Ryder to     win an unexpected place in the semi-finals of the $10,000 PSA World     Tour squash event at Vitis Sports Center in Schlieren,     near Zurich, in Switzerland.

   

 

   

And the unseeded Swiss teenager did it the hard way - fighting back     from two games and match-ball down in the third to beat experienced     Englishman Ryder 9-11, 9-11, 12-10, 11-3,     11-6.

   

 

   

“Nicolas rode the wave of support that surged from the local crowd     during these games,” said tournament organiser John Williams.  “The win from the Swiss star has     also brought a positive response from the National Television Channel     ‘SF’, who are very likely to come to VITIS SportsCenter to film footage of     tomorrow’s semi-finals, which will be replayed on Monday or Tuesday in the     coming week.

   

 

   

“This is naturally a bonus for Squash in Switzerland and in general on     World Squash Day,” added Williams.

   

 

   

Mueller, the world No71 from near Zurich, will now meet Mexico’s Jorge Isaac     Baltazar Ferreira, the seventh seed ranked 18 places higher who     defeated unseeded Australian Bradley Hindle 13-11, 11-6,     11-7.

   

 

   

The other semi-final will feature England’s top seed Tom     Richards and fourth-seeded Hungarian Mark Krajcsak who had     straightforward straight games wins over Dutch qualifier Piedro     Schweertman and Czech number one Jan Koukal,     respectively.

   

 

   

Semi-final line-up:

   

[1] Tom Richards (ENG) v [4] Mark Krajcsak     (HUN)

   

[7] Jorge Isaac Baltazar Ferreira (MEX) v Nicolas Mueller     (SUI)
